Two hours later"How boring," Lila thought. Even though Kiryu wanted to stay by her side, there was an urgent matter that needed his attention. Judging from how he was yelling on the phone, he clearly did whatever he could to ensure that he could stay. So Lila convinced Kiryu to leave. The one who is meant to be by her side is
Truthfully speaking, as much as Lila wanted to see Haruka. At the same time, she felt bitter. Only three hours had pa.s.sed by when she wakes up to the sound of the doorbell ringing. "None of the servants are getting it," Lila thought. They are probably slacking off just because Mother stepped out for a bit. Her entire body feels groggy; Lila somehow stood up and used the wall as support to get over to the balcony. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was.
It"s Haruka?! Eh? But, only four - no barely four hours have pa.s.sed. She didn"t think he would drop by so soon. Lila peered over and saw a bags in his hands and a bouquet. Her cheeks flushed, is that for her?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Wahh? Why is he climbing up? Or rather d.a.m.n, she should have put that ladder away.
"Hmmm, this should be her room, right? Would be awkward if it isn"t."
....
Haruka"s hand feels so warm and comfortable.
"Did you take your medicine? What about food?"
"I ate," Lila nodded.
"Mmm, medicine then. I got you something."
Lila stared at the pills suspiciously. Lately, she"s a bit suspicious whenever Haruka gave her anything. Still, Lila opened it and swallowed the tablet with the water.
It doesn"t taste weird.
"Did you think I would drug you?"
"You did it before."
Haruka brushed his forehead against hers, his gentleness made her heart skip a beat, "Mmm, it will take time to take effect, lay back down."
"Haruka, will you stay with me now?"
"I will; I"ll stay by your side. Do you want to cuddle?"
Her eyes lit up; they get to cuddle? But wait, he"s acting way too kind. "Did something happen? Did she kiss you again or something?"
"..."
At that comment, Lila buried herself back under the covers, "Go away!!"
"Babe."
"Be quiet; I don"t want to hear it. Why can"t you protect your lips for one second?!!" Lila exclaimed. No wonder he was acting oddly. She thought for a moment that he was genuinely sweet with her. Turns out that was false after all
Lila hears a rustling sound and knows that Haruka had joined her. "Don"t be mad, yeah?"
"Haruka, I don"t like it when another girl touches you."
"Yeah, I know. Sorry," Haruka apologized, "There"s a way to stop this, stake your claim on me."
Lila blushed, "Pervert! You just want...you just want to do perverted things, and then this conversation will go down the drain again. Stupid, stupid!" Lila exclaimed.
"I may be stupid. But I love you so much," Haruka held her tightly, "Turn around Lila, let me see your face."
It"s not fair. Why can"t she stay mad at him for long? She really is an idiot. Lila turned around and is greeted by his gentle eyes and his warm embrace, "Good girl, now don"t fuss anymore?"
"Unfair," Lila murmured, "You never let me get angry at you."
"Why would you be this angry? Do you not love me anymore?" Haruka murmured.
"That"s what I mean by not fair! You always pull the "you don"t love anymore," card! You know full well that I love you and that I"m only sulking."
"Lila, I can honestly tell you nothing is going to happen between that woman and me. I love you so much."
Those words do make her happy. But, "Why is she so confident that she can get you to fall for her? Something must have happened?"
"Nothing happened," Haruka paused, "Zane must have said something to her? I"ve heard they"ve net a couple of times. Zane is technically my legal guardian, so he probably did something."
"Did what?"
"Promise her that she would marry me."
At that comment, Lila felt the tears well up in her eyes; she couldn"t hold it back anymore. Why does she have to go through this? It isn"t fair. So that"s why Mei acts that way. That"s why Zane was disturbed by the marriage news. That"s why Haruka knew this entire time. "Why didn"t you tell me?"
"Lila, in the end, it"s up to me to decide who I will marry. I didn"t think it was important."
Haruka is genuinely telling the truth here. It"s most likely not important at all to him. But, but she can"t help but worry about it.
....
Lila wakes up to Haruka"s gentle hand on her forehead, and him whispering how much he loved her. Lila blushed, that"s right. He does this a lot whenever she is sick.
Before Lila could speak up and tell him that she"s awake though, Haruka"s phone started ringing.
"What? Did somebody push her? An attack?"
Lila felt her gaze turn cold; she knew immediately what was going on.
"Lila, stay here for a bit."
___
Main Street
Once they had gotten far enough, Haruka had let go of her hand almost immediately. How boring, he will not touch her at all?
"Looks like they"re selling some Takayoki over there, you haven"t eaten yet, right? I"ll get you some. You have to stay put because of your leg too," Haruka said.
"Okay," with those words said Mei watched as Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka left. A deep sigh escaped her lips, "How frustrating." When he came here right away, Mei thought that he cared for her. But now that she thought about it, it would look bad for him if she were somebody else found her in that state. Is this relations.h.i.+p really just a formal one? Does she stand no chance whatsoever?
The man named Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka does not care about reputation, that much Mei knew. The only thing the man actually expressed interest in is his girlfriend, Teras.h.i.+ma Lila.
Cute large eyes that are liked by most people. A straight forward and optimistic like personality, long and very smooth hair. Flawless skin, long slender legs. A perfect body.
Someone who has a good relations.h.i.+p with everyone she meets, anybody who sees her sees happiness.
The two of them differ completely from each other. Mei had always thought that Haruka liked her type better. But it turns out he really is just like a regular guy. How boring. Haruka, this side of him she doesn"t like it at all. She doesn"t like it. The guy she fell in love with wasn"t like this at all. He"s different now; and yet Mei knew that she is still in love with him. Mei liked how he treated her at the beginning; he was kind and spent time with her. He even walked her home and stayed for a bit. But since they arrived in Star town, he wouldn"t do any of that anymore.
Her thoughts broke off when Haruka re-emerged with the food in his hands, "I wonder if it"s all right for you to eat this when it"s so greasy... I"ll get rid of the oil a bit."
"I can eat it," Mei said. As Haruka handed it over to her, she leaned down and took a bite and licked the sauce from his hands, "Delicious."
At that, Haruka flicked her forehead, "Eat properly. You an adult after all."
. .it didn"t phase him at all?
Mei made several other attempts during the course of the day to get him h.o.r.n.y. But he brushed them off thoroughly; this guy really will not let her touch him is he? Alright then, drastic calls for drastic measures. Spotting a nearby alleyway, she pretended her condition was getting worse, and Haruka brought her there, as not to draw much attention. When he bent down, she took that opportunity to unbuckle his pants.
To her surprise, though, he grabbed hold of her hand and glared at her. It took her that split second to realize what she had done wrong. Mei hurriedly stood up. Don"t act too hasty; she will scare him off.
...
Inn
Mei opened her eyes and saw a checkered ceiling pattern. Is she in an inn? Mei attempted to sit up, but it was futile, "Oh, your up," a voice from the doorway said. Mei looked over and saw maroon colored hair.
"Haruka. . what happened to me?"
"The doctor said it was lack of sleep and eating due to stress. You shouldn"t do that; it"s bad for your health. Here the people here are friends of mine, so they cooked you a meal," Haruka placed down the tray on the bedside table.
Stress, Haruka.
Haruka.
Hold her.
Touch her.
Mei was about to speak up Haruka"s phone started ringing. "Huh? Lila? I wonder what she wants. Hold on a second Aizawa."
Before Haruka could click the answer b.u.t.ton, she took his phone from his hands and shoved it inside the draw. As Mei pinned him down, removing his clothes hurriedly. Don"t go, don"t go to that woman. "Hold on Aizawa?!!
No no.
She doesn"t want to lose him.
She doesn"t want it to be goodbye. She wants to be with him always. Rosalia didn"t stop at all; she was so distracted that she didn"t notice that the doors had opened.
"Hold on there"s still a patie--," Mei a.s.sumed this guy was the doctor. But forget him, she sent a victorious look towards Teras.h.i.+ma Lila who stood in the doorway frozen.
"Oh."
Teras.h.i.+ma Lila! Her gaze went dim, that"s right. It"s because of this woman.
"Oi Aizawa get off me," Haruka growled.
No no, she doesn"t want to let go. She won"t let him go just because this woman is here. She doesn"t want to be parted from him anymore.
Mei bent down to kiss him. Eventually, she hears a clattering sound and hears the doctor who Haruka called overcall the girl"s name. Her lips curve to a smile; this is what that woman gets for messing with her.
Mei proceeded to continue but was harshly shoved off by Haruka, "d.a.m.n you, did you give me something?" Haruka"s entire face was covered in sweat.
"Drugs," the aura surrounding him was terrible. His completion awful, "What did you give me?"
"Haruka, I..."
"Enough! I"ll speak to you later," with those words said he immediately rushed off. Mei clenched her fist. Is it impossible, after all? To get Haruka to look her way?
